"Being Messy, Rough, and Active At Home:" Importance of Sensory Play to a Child’s Development

July 25, 2020 | Saturday| 3 P.M. PST
Live via Facebook here on our page

Children love to explore and learn using their senses. That is why sensory play has an important role in their overall development. They use their senses to learn things, discover new abilities, and have fun. During the quarantine period, most of the children have limited contact with outside world, thus limiting their opportunity to be exposed to different sensory stimulus. Join us this Saturday as we will be sharing with you activities and strategies to do at home to facilitate sensory play. The webinar will also discuss general theories of sensory integration to better understand its principles and to effectively promote sensory play for children.

Today should have been a big day for our trainees since today was supposed to be their first Aquathlon event. We were all looking forward to seeing how they will go through the course on their own. We were excited to see them go through the finish line.

It was saddening to know that they will not see the fruits of their hardwork and effort the past few months but we’re looking forward to seeing these determined kids for Aquathlon 2021. They may have to wait a little while to get back on the track and swim in the pool but this is just another opportunity to continue working hard to be stronger and faster for the upcoming event.

For now, we would like to look back to the awesome training days we’ve had that helped these kids transform into the athletes that they are now!

Never give up, great things take time! Train and stay healthy!💪❤🏆

"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn’t matter how fast or how far. It doesn’t matter if today is your first day or if you’ve been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.” – John Bingham
